Trump pardons ex-Staten Island and Brooklyn GOP Rep. Michael Grimm

President Trump has pardoned former Staten Island and Brooklyn GOP Rep. Michael Grimm, two White House sources tell The Post.

Grimm, a former FBI agent and business owner, served seven months in prison in 2015 and 2016 after pleading guilty to underreporting taxable revenue from his Healthalicious restaurant in Manhattan.

Grimm, 55, served two terms in Congress before resigning in January 2015 following his guilty plea.

The former lawmaker’s pardon was first reported by NY1.

Trump, 78, has pardoned or commuted the prison sentences of an unusually large number of people early in his second term — after alleging he was treated unfairly by the legal system over the past four years.
